How to block Bluesky from Mastodon:
1. Go to the profile page of the account @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy
2. Click ⋯
3. Click "Block Domain" to stop seeing Bluesky accounts
4. Click "Block" to prevent your own account being bridged to Bluesky
You may need to copy-paste @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy into the search box on your server to make the profile appear.
If you can't find the account @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy, your server is probably already blocking the Bluesky bridge.
Friends of the #Fediverse - I need some information about good apps for iOS. On Android, my favourite is #Moshidon but I also like #Tusky or #Pachli or #Fedilab etc.
On iOS, I remember I was using (back in 2022/early 2023) #Icecubes and #Tusker - which looks nice but I can’t find the quote post option.
Can you please help me and suggest something?

Gestern habe ich mir die #Pachli-App für den Zugriff auf Mastodon installiert. Die hat gegenüber #Tusky zwei Vorteile:
- Während man auf einen Tröt antwortet, sieht man diesen darüber.
- Wenn man einen Hashtag sucht und dann vom Ergebnisfenster antwortet, steht dieser Hashtag schon im Entwurf der Antwort.
Hello #Tusky testers, how are the quote post looking? Should we release them to a wider audience?

Anyone have an #Android #Mastodon app they like? I'm currently using #Tusky, and it's fine, but it doesn't support quote toots, which is occasionally annoying. #Technology

seeing tech journalists still this confused how to use the fediverse this far into things; we should take it as a sign that we need to rethink how this whole cross instance cross domain flow works
@liaizon not sure what you mean exactly, but:
multi-accounting is great, and is probably a feature that could be explained better to non-fedizens (I don't like that term, but basically, people not already familiar with the fediverse - because as you said in this thread elsewhere, it's mostly nerds and weirdos who end up here and stick around)
the apps that people can currently use to experience the fediverse lean more tool than experience. not sure who said that "Mastodon is a party bus, Pleroma is a mech suit" but basically, I think from the perspective of people used to walled garden experiences, who never look at settings, Mastodon is this very intricate thing that you need to set up in order to make it work the way you want it to or expect it to
when people log in, fedizens are often very friendly to newbies but a lot of how they help is like "here's some homework for you!"
and even that's a mixed bag. it might be that no one is friendly to you because you're on a shit server, not that it's your fault, necessarily. obviously there are issues of harassment that happen too, which might come off as initially worse on here than it is in a walled garden
it seems like the best response is on the app level. one could take an app that makes multiaccounting very easy - I think #Tusky is a great option, personally, but there are others - and add some actually game-like features. I've seen bad example of this, like how every time I make a Discourse account (I believe), I get a star for making my first post, looking at my Settings for the first time, or whatever, lol
but you could offer, like, an animated intro - which an experienced user could skip. perhaps offering a better array of generalist, public servers, and even offering to make another identity or two, so people get the concept right away
I wish there was an easy way to see all the posts that I've actually *written*, rather than having them lumped in together with everything I've boosted!
#Tusky Test can now display quotes! Please let me know how you like it and report any bugs.
Uuuuuiiiiii! Ist das gerade ausgerollt worden mit der #Mastodon 4.6 Alpha?
Klasse!
Ich der Browser Version, auf großen Bildschirmen (PC/Laptop), sehe ich da schon eine Weile.
Aber vielleicht ist meine Instanz auch nur früh dran gewesen.
Was mir aber gerade zum ersten mal in #tusky auffällt, ist das ich mir anzeigen lassen kann, worauf ich antwortete. Ist das neu? Oder war ich Blind?

TL;DR: "Load more" behaviour is inconsistent in the latest builds.
I have my feed set to "Oldest first". So when I fire up Tusky, I'm taken to where I left off. I scroll upwards through the feed, reading newer messages. Eventually I come to a "Load more" bar. I click on it.
Previously, new messages were loaded ABOVE the bar, so the last message I had read (below the bar) was still on screen with the newly-loaded ones above. I could continue as normal.
Now, the new messages are sometimes loaded BELOW the bar. So, in effect, I've been skipped forward. The last message I read is now some way down my feed and I have to scroll back down to (try to) find it so I can continue where I left off.
This doesn't happen every time and I've been trying to find a pattern. I think, though I'm not completely sure, that if "Load more" doesn't load all of the missing messages (so the bar stays there ready to load another batch) the messages get loaded below. But if it is able to load all missing messages, it loads them above.
Hope that all makes sense.
@ratcatcher You might want to try https://pachli.app. I wrote some of the code that fixed "Load more" in #tusky some years ago, then I removed the need for it in #Pachli - posts load as you scroll, you never see a "Load more" button.
Anyway, dispaying quotes in #Tusky is 90% done. Took 2 days. The actual UI is just 120 lines thanks to the new timeline refactoring.
Yes! My "tusky" client helps me understand some toots written in languages that I don't know! I have used the "Translate" feature ("DeepL") to better understand the toot and screen-shots or other alt-texts.
Sadly, I've not yet found a way to easily translate a non-English toot when the author has "EN" set as their language.
If I recognize the language, I can copy-paste that into something like Google translate to get the sense of the toot.
The DeepL & other machine translators *DO* help me broaden my viewpoints!

@SaguaroLynx I could imagine that this problem depends on the client.
When I use Mastodon via browser on my PC, it has included Deepl. One click, and it translates me every language (Deepl has), but I can't translate English posts because this is *my* main Mastodon language. In the browser version it depends on my setting not that of the author - so this might be different with #Tusky.
